Shocking lack of standards for a paid service

So we went to a customer of ours today in Meiringspark and came across a quite unique and frustrating picture. Two street cones put on the corner of a stop street to avoid a small pile of gravel that looks like it has been swept together. Why not just pick it up?? I'm not even exaggerating when I say it will take me 5 min to do it with a shovel. I almost wanted to but remembered that we pay for services like that, or so I thought? Can any person be so lazy? Troubling to say the least if this is the standard our municipality wants to deliver. I felt ashamed for your part. It felt like a joke, but unfortunately far from it.
